OK, you software geeks...you coding fools, you hacking addicts, this is your meeting. We're going to talk about some cool stuff tonight. This is phase 2 of your favorite and mine: the GatorJUG Openspaces meeting. Bring your topic, let the audience judge and see what happens after your 5 minutes of fame. If we like what you have to say, well...then we'll ask for more! It's a fun way to share and everyone gets a chance. We'll begin with a topical presentation. Kevin Neelands will continue to describe what he's learned developing iPhone apps. He's deployed 5 to the App Store and sold "enough to buy pizza once per week!"...you'll see. Then, we'll transmute into the Spaces session. Open spaces, that is. Bring yourself, bring a friend. It's going to be a good time. And, you know there will be swag and pizza, as always. So, please RSVP so we'll know how much food to order. Use the invite feature to let your bro's know, too!
This meeting is sponsored by Grooveshark.
Codetown is a social network. It's got blogs, forums, groups, personal pages and more! You might think of Codetown as a funky camper van with lots of compartments for your stuff and a great multimedia system, too! Best of all, Codetown has room for all of your friends.

In her QCon London keynote, Birgitta Böckeler, AI-Coding lead at Thoughtworks, reflected on the changes in the AI coding space over the past year. She emphasised a shift from vibe coding to using autonomous coding agents or swarms of agents. According to her, two major concerns in the field are the worsening security landscape and the rising costs of agent-based development.

Peter Morgan introduced Tansu at QCon London, an open-source, Kafka-compatible, stateless, leaderless broker that scales to zero, with pluggable storage (S3, SQLite, Postgres), broker-side schema validation, and direct writes to Iceberg and Delta Lake. Written in Rust, it uses 20MB of RAM and starts in 10 milliseconds.
